Gristedes supermarket between 86th and 87th street on York Avenue is probably the worst grocery store in the area. The isles are tiny, it's rarely well stocked, many items are priced incorrectly, the produce is awful, expired goods are left on the shelf, and it's dirty. In fact, many neighbors of mine have repeatedly called the health department due to the unclean conditions. The prices are also quite high. If you live very close to this store, stick to the basics: milk, bread, etc. Go an extra block over to the larger and better Gristedes between 1st and 2nd for any serious shopping.
